it's gonna be JUnE!! (between the pages)
welcome to june!
can we call it summer reading since it’s already hotter than 95 degrees here and our daily afternoon thunderstorms are rolling in on humidity’s too-oft cue?
here on this post you’ll find all of mondays’ weekly reading book reviews as they happen each week (direct from my living room!), as well as LINKS to learn more (&/or collect!) each title at bookshop.org*. (unless otherwise specified.)
thanks for watching. thanks for reading. thanks for keeping my TBR mountains growing.
here for the flavor of the day (double the cookie*dough, please),
xo,
*hallie :)
*you can also see all of my recommended reading titles collected over the years on my bookhsop.org affiliate page HERE. they’re organized by genre and otherwise for your book-hoarding convenience & pleasure. :)
